Watching this great movie tonight.

My dad and I watched this multiple times together. Great soundtrack.

Dubbed 'A rock n' roll fable'.

More music Friday!

More 90/00s greatness. Pure hardcore punk. I got to see these these guys at Vans Warped Tour around the time of this show. I was super sick but still rocked hard.

The godfathers of the stoner rock movement of the 90s. They spawned hundreds of amazing bands and still a great influence on new bands as well.

I travelled Toronto and Vancouver to see them live.

They are missing Josh Homme at this point, but still great.

I miss summer.

So, 3 weeks ago the Yukon had a record breaking cold streak of between -45 to -55C for over a week. December is typically the mildest month of our winter, with January and February being the months where those temperatures are more common.

Last night it rained here. It's expected to go to +6C.

Why, Zeal & Ardor, of course.

Music Friday! Been a while.

My favourite album by Silverchair. Hard to believe they were basically kids when they put this out.

I really like this guy as a reactor because he listens to full albums and has the lyrics.

A slew of new reviews up on Amazon. This one, in particular, stood out to me since they are a fellow survivor.

Four years ago today my sister was found dead, alone in a hotel room, of fentanyl poisoning. Either her cocaine or benzos were tainted.

She refused to go home to our parents because she couldn't take the abuse anymore. She left her 3 year old son behind.

I miss her so.

Happy new year everyone.

This is another sad day for me. Not only was it the last time I spoke to my sister before her death, but it is also the day my best friend died after high school.

Below is graduation night. He was dead by the end of the year.

Be kind. You don't know what others endure.

Michael Chernus, who was the author brother-in-law in Severance, is incredible as John Wayne Gacy in Devil in Disguise.

Totally riveting.

I also like how the show is more focused on the investigation and victims, rather than the kills like it Monsters series on Netflix.

Great show.

Merry Xmas everyone. I hope you all have a great day.

For me, this is a sad time. Not only is it the day my sister disappeared before her death, but it will be the last that we will be a family to celebrate.

So, do keep in mind that the holidays are not exciting for everyone. Be kind, love.
